If you mean the first 14 of a season, then only three teams have done it in AFL/VFL history. Collingwood in 1929 (& premiership), Essendon in 2000 (& premiership) and St Kilda in 2009 (?). Of these teams, the last (us) has the highest percentage after the 14 wins. So, it's the best ever first 14 games of any season ever. No doubt our usual negative posters on this board will claim that it's meaningless, that the teams we beat were robbed or some other rubbish, but I regard it as a magnificent achievement (so far) for our club and the group of players. Go Saints!

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

It is interesting to note that of those 17 streaks of 14 or more all but 4 included a premiership (though that might drop to 3 if our run goes all the way).
